SPICED APPLE PORK ROAST
"I THINK what I enjoy most about Ukrainian cooking is the smells it creates. This pork roast reminds me of my mother's kitchen-it smells wonderful! My mother canned and preserved in the fall and always used applesauce to glaze the meat. That's probably why I associate the sweet aroma of this hearty stick-to-your-ribs meal with cooler weather."

Tips
- Choose the right pork ribs: Select pork ribs that are meaty and have good marbling. This will ensure they are tender and flavorful.
- Use a flavorful rub: The rub is what gives the ribs their flavor, so make sure to use a blend of spices that you enjoy. This recipe uses a combination of brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and chili powder.
- Cook the ribs low and slow: The key to tender, fall-off-the-bone ribs is to cook them low and slow. This allows the collagen in the ribs to break down, making them tender and juicy.
- Baste the ribs: Basting the ribs during cooking helps to keep them moist and flavorful. You can use a variety of liquids for basting, such as apple juice, apple cider vinegar, or barbecue sauce.
- Let the ribs rest: Once the ribs are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making them even more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion
Apple-spiced pork ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The ribs are tender and flavorful, and the apple cider vinegar gives them a slightly sweet and tangy flavor. Serve the ribs with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or coleslaw.
